Below is a notable quote about another vulnerability of Windows: #-----------------------------
Hear me out. Linux is Microsoft's main competition right now. Because of this we are forcing them to "innovate", something they would usually avoid. Now, if MS Bob has taught us anything, Microsoft is not a company that should be innovating. When they do, they don't come up with things like "better security" or "stability", they come back with "talking paperclips", and "throw in every useless feature we can think of, memory footprint be dammed". Unfortunately, they also come up with the bright idea of executing email. Now MIME attachments aren't enough, they want you to be able to run/open attachments right when you get them. This sounds like a good idea to people who believe renaming directories to folders made computing possible for the common man, but security wise it's like vigorously shaking a package from the Unibomber. So my friends, we are to blame. We pushed them into frantically trying to invent "necessary" features to stay on top, and look where it got us. Many of us are watching our beloved mail servers go down under the strain and rebuilding our company's PC because of our pointless competition with MS. I implore you to please drop Linux before Microsoft innovates again. -- From a Slashdot.org post in regards to the ILOVEYOU email virus #-------------------------------- Regards, LelandJ On 10/29/2010 05:27 PM, Charlie Coleman wrote: > At 04:03 PM 10/29/2010, Michael Madigan wrote: >> I wonder if anybody has hacked it yet? > If the service is running MS software, yeah, you better bank on the hack. > > :-) > > -Charlie > > >> --- On Fri, 10/29/10, Jeff Johnson<[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> From: Jeff Johnson<[email protected]> >>> Subject: Re: [NF] Internet Access now available on Mt.
